E13: Sankofa Episode – Year in Review

Antiracist Parenting Podcast

In the last episode of Season 1, SooJin and Hannah tap into the power of Sankofa as they reflect back on the season. They discuss the ways in which their lives have been transformed by the podcast, sharing what they’ve learned from our past guests in order to understand their present moment and future possibilities. Hannah shares the process she’s been engaged in with her white family to tackle difficult conversations around race. SooJin teaches us how, by letting go of her fear of losing what she has, she’s gained more than she ever imagined. This conversation will inspire you to tap into your limitless potential by embracing uncertainty over certainty, uncertainty over a false sense of security and stability. Join us in jumpstarting your process of becoming best friends with uncertainty so that you can be FEARLESS in your parenting, work, and relationships.

Please note: We sometimes use the acronym BIPOC, which means Black, Indigenous and/or People of Color. There is some profanity sprinkled (lightly!) throughout the episode.
